❤️ Testimonial from Erica (Ellie’s mom):

I can’t say enough good things about Sophie—she was absolutely wonderful with our dog Ellie! Ellie is usually very apprehensive when it comes to getting her nails trimmed, but Sophie had such a calm, gentle presence that put her at ease right away. It was amazing to see how relaxed and comfortable Ellie was throughout the entire process. Sophie took her time, was incredibly patient, and treated Ellie with so much care and kindness. I’m so grateful for the positive experience—thank you, Sophie, for making something that’s usually stressful into something so smooth and pleasant for both of us!

Troy had an amazing time at the Holly branch of the Barrie Public Library this morning! 😲 Kids attending the program got to try a human agility course, colour in some bull terrier pictures (look how cute they are), and then come and say hi to Troy. 🐾 Huge thank you to the library for having us so that we could have such a great time! 😁

If you do not already know, I made the decision to have Zero move out of my home almost a year ago. I wrote about it....
